Logan and Hannah are two students from my “Young Artists” class that have been with me for several years and have moved up to the adult class. They do very well mixing color and working independently on paintings. Here are two that they just completed. Excellent!!!

Every year in New York City while the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is going on there in February there is an art sale at Bonham’s Auction House that features wonderful dog art. For several years while I was up in NYC for the dog show I went to the auction. It was fabulous to see so much excellent dog art in one location.

You can view the current offerings on their website by clicking here. If you love dog art you must take a look. There is everything from scarf pins painted with dog images to sculptures to huge paintings. It’s worth a look.

You know I am always talking about art being all around us. It’s hard not to see some art everywhere you go…including airports. Yesterday while traveling home from Kentucky I flew from Nashville International Airport and it is filled with art and music. Learn more here.

One fun thing about going to visit old friends is seeing past paintings that I have done hanging in their homes. It’s very exciting! She has the first watercolor I ever painted back in 1997! Watercolor Magnolia.

We had a wonderful group of ladies for Adele’s Birthday Paint Party last night at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. Everyone did a fabulous job painting a scene of the gazebo. Terrific work! And Happy Birthday Adele!!!
